| Color fields in the Windows default color dialogs are limited to 2digits Build: 2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.070227-2254 I can move the color slider up/down or the color target cursor and the fields display 3 digits fine, but any attempt to type more than 2 digits or move the typing cursor behind the 3rd digit fails. This occurs for all six of the color fields. (HSL/RGB) I've also noticed than when I move the slider to high numbers one of the RGB fields becomes out of sync with the rest by 2-3. (e.g., I can choose 204,204,206, but never 204,204,204) I've searched everywhere for an answer and the closest I've come is someone mentioning the problem in comment on an XP Theme site. No solution mentioned anywhere. :(( I hope someone has the solution, because this is really frustrating! Respectfully, Raven |

My video card is an Intel 915GM/GSM, and the driver hasn't added any tabs or other additional features to the Display Properties dialog.

I appreciate the attempt at finding a solution. Thanks, Peter! Unfortunately, this problem is now affecting me everywhere the standard color dialog is used, which is practically every piece of software installed. Respectfully, Raven |
